Here’s @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor”

There are US warships outside of Venezuela.
@nytimes why is there no reporting on this. There may be an attack tomorrow 8/22. A Friday, slow news day.

As Trump and Musk attack each other, don't forget — their ongoing DOGE cuts have made your life worse.
It doesn't matter who wins the Trump-Musk feud.
Thanks to them, millions of Americans have already lost crucial public services.
Okay husband is gone but how I loved my 104 year old #Jewish mother in law. Here she is talking about going to the Yiddish theater in Chicago. RIP Belle Lippman
Replying to @UICProfWatch
Belle Lippman navigated in an America that offered some privileges to Jewish middle class women & occasional #Antisemitism.She moved to Virginia in the 50's, and my husband, a child then, remembers her stopped by police who mocked her surname.But there was the Yiddish theater!

“And I’m here to ensure that DEI never returns to the University of Florida.”
Poor Santa Ono. To suck up that hard and still not get the job, after stepping down as prez of the University of Michigan for it. At least when I sold my soul in 1986, the Mets won the World Series.
Don’t think #Florida legislators have any right to weigh in on this but this guy had it coming.
As the OGs on the #Chicago #SouthSide say:
God don’t like UGLY!

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Today, we mourn the death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, gunned down.... wait, I'm sorry - today we mourn the deaths of the 68,000 Americans who needlessly die each year so that insurance company execs like Brian Thompson can become multimillionaires.
Please say it ain’t so!
You can insult #Latinos
Call them rapists
Tell them that Puerto Rico is a land of floating garbage
And Latinos will STILL vote for you. Unbelievable

It was windy and frightful today at # UIC #halloween2024
Here’s a pair of students who went to their classrooms looking #spooky
They’re not my students but I adore them all 💓😈
@UICLAS @thisisUIC #StudentSuccess
Okay, this sweet #UIC student was channeling both #Frankenstein AND #Chucy in this booo-tiful #halloween2024 costume.
She should be in by @UICENGL 207 class where we’re reading Mary Shelley’s spectacular 1818 novel #Frankenstein: A Modern #prometheus
It’s #halloween2024 and here’s my wonderful and super smart @UICENGL student dressed as a vampire and although we were studying #Woolf, it was #MrsDalloway on the syllabus.
She’s got the teeth and the vampire marks on her neck!

The #VPDebate2024: take a pile of crap smother it in chocolate, cut it into bite-sized chunks, wrap it in pretty packaging and upsell it as “Trump salvaged Obamacare” or “I never supported a national abortion ban”; and even “ [Trump] peacefully gave over power on Jan 20.”
At some point it will hit you why it tastes like crap—but Vance and Trump hope not until after the election.
Stylistic Differences

Congrats to Prof Jennifer L Morgan who got a #MacCather genius grant today. To think that she and her husband were denied a position at @JohnsHopkins twenty years ago. C#ck blocked by a jealous old Caribbean historian who has never been awarded anything!

JD Vance is attacking immigrants by spreading the fentanyl lie.
Let's be clear: Over 90% of fentanyl is trafficked into the US at ports of entry, mostly by US citizens. It is NOT an immigration issue.
JD Vance needs to stop scapegoating our migrant communities.

As a litigator, I need to reiterate this. JD Vance may sound 'eloquent' in his practiced nonsense but this is a fine example of half the ostentatious idiots I see in trial - words without merit or citation. Listen to the facts. He has NONE. #VPDebate2024

Sigh. #Debate2024
